Some “lost footage” from one of my last Saturday night DJ sets at the iconic Berlin Nightclub (1983-2023) where I gave a decade of my life. This club taught me many forms of freedom: The freedom to mix genres & video, to mix on 4 decks, dance on the stage & get nearly naked in the booth. RIP, Mother Berlin!! You made me a better human ❤️ #berlinnightclub #queerdj #djbooth #housemusic #gaydj #djset #nightclub
Promo for The Woodpecker Suite EP by Nevin Hersch. Link: https://tr.ee/-heK_MK2rF The songs on this EP share a 15 minute field recording I captured including woodpeckers & other birds, alongside members of my family scraping ice off their cars on a crisp Michigan morning. I wrote these 4 songs during lockdown, creating a relaxing sonic world I could meditate to. I made the video with Pika, still in its infancy, from images I created with Alien Intel. #naturesounds #woodpecker #fieldrecording #ambientmusic #soundscape #analogsynth #meditationmusic #pika

Behind the Music for my album “Soundscapes in Pandemia.” This was filmed in my home studio in Edgewater, Chicago. I explain some of the songs, my process, and personal details in constructing the album. Having created it during lockdown, it was an intimate and cathartic process. “Soundscapes” is perfect for chilling out, long walks, meditation, yoga, and background vibes. #naturesounds #fieldrecording #ambientmusic #soundscape #analogsynth
Promo for “Soundscapes in Pandemia” by Nevin Hersch. Link: https://tr.ee/ZdLPsw6Uiw This video features some of my Spotify Canvases, and a few favorite vibes from the album. This ambient music is meant for long walks, healing, meditation and chilling out. It’s perfect for doing homework, a yoga session or a mind trip.It features my nature field recordings from all over the United States, soundtracked in analog synthesis. The purpose of this album is to help in the act of being mindful & in the moment. Having done most of this work during lockdown, it was an incredibly healing experience for me. If you enjoy it, share it with a friend or family member. It’s resonated with people of all ages. #naturesounds #fieldrecording #ambientmusic #ambient #electronicmusic #soundscape #analogsynth #synthesizer #darkambient #newmusic #instrumental #sounddesign #soundart #electronic #soundtrack #soundscapes #meditationmusic #chillout #nevinhersch
The outpouring of love and support at my release party for “Soundscapes in Pandemia” was incredible. It was heartfelt, pure good energy/vibes seeing folks from all parts of my life coming together in the great outdoors. Hearing my music & field recordings combine with the sounds of the Chicago Lakefront was magical! And having a bonfire in the Witch’s Circle was just icing on the cake.
My little cousin took these shots & videos with his drone. The party was really spread out- because of the generator, I set up the sound system underneath the trees, far from the bonfire. Thanks to you all for your love and support- This marks the next phase of not only my musical career, but also of my life. Playing the remixes for y’all was wonderful as well- can’t wait to begin releasing them next year.
And a very special DJ set by @djriyariya She went into my catalog and somehow knew it would be the perfect moment to play Deee-Lite’s “Picnic in the Summertime” remix- It was a day of full circle moments, and she knew the perfect right vibes. <3
